Liars Anonymous Community Group
A support group to provide those with a compulsive addiction to lie a place to share hope, strength and courage with others like them; solve our common problem and help others with a compulsion to lie. We aren't alone!
My name is Kat and I'm a liar. I am on day 6 without lying to my husband. And day 4 without lying to anyone else.
Most of my lies are "white lies ", but as I have learned, those can be just as damaging in the long run and lead to comfort with lying which causes escalation.
I have come clean to those I lie to the most and they are supportive of my recovery, which is an amazing blessing.
I am on here, doing research, and have recommitted to religion (I never lost my faith). I do mantras and educate myself.
I am making big progress and am much happier in general. However, my husband still struggles. He is very supportive and we are actually working on ourselves together which has bonded us more than ever before in many ways, but the trust being broken is tough. We read a lot and marriagebuilder.com has been particularly helpful, but I was wondering if any of you had any additional tips for rebuilding my relationship... Or me.
Thank you!!

I too am working on my relationship. I have been with my boyfriend for over 7 years, and unfortunately it is only recently that I started accepting responsibility for my lying. My boyfriend has put up with many lies from me and has recently begged for me to get help. I have started seeing a therapist.
Today is my 6th day without lying. However, my boyfriend still struggles to trust what I say.
The only advice I can really give (at the moment) is to face the "tough conversations". I would avoid the tough conversations, which would eventually trigger my lying. It can be very painful (I had a tough conversation yesterday) but in the end my boyfriend is starting to appreciate how I becoming more open and honest.
Good luck with anything! If I find some good advice, I will share :)
